No.

Wilderness is there for us so we can get away from civilization. You want to blog about your trip to the wilderness? Take a camera and a notebook then put it on the internet when you get home. WiFi in our wild lands will take more away from the wilderness experience. First world folks are too plugged in as it is, slaves to our smartphones.

I agree. HOWEVER. Wireless access in Yellowstone is already restricted to five areas (the ones the bulk of the tourists see) and the coverage is extremely stressed during the summer. There are no plans to change what areas have coverage; what is being proposed is trying to keep coverage in the existing areas usable, from what it sounds like.

I would argue that Old Faithful in the summer is pretty far from a wilderness experience as it is.
